I was trying to grab a shot of this bird in flight but it must have seen my camera and decided to land and rest. BUT I like the bird silhouette anyway!
That's cool! I like that shot, it's really interesting.
Hey Paulie, come back and take another look at my blog. You commented that I should have posted a pic of the collapsed barn in my Odd Shots. That WAS my Odd Shot...a pix of the collapsed barn...I just posted the still standing barn shot to show what it looked like before it's demise! For some reason when you were there before, the fallen down barn pic must not have loaded for you!! :) Computers! Go figure! LOL
Birds never stay where you want them to be in a picture, do they? This turned out to be seredipity, though.
Today I saw two hawks sitting together on a wire--a fence wire, if I remember correclty. I was amazed, as they are usually seen solo on the highest spot in the area. I don't think I have seen two together before. It must be spring.
JennyMcB gave me this award and I thank her for the consideration.
Sharon gave me this award and it means a lot to me.
Dragonstar surprised me with this one today!
Lilli gave me this and a few days later Kathy did too. I also received it from Bears In Exile, Sharon, Kerri and Mrs. Nesbitt. I guess I have a lot to live up to as the recipient of this award.
pernille's ting og tanggave me this award this week and I will treasure it and try to always have a good reason to blog.
I LOVE MYSTERIES! But most of all I love mysteries with wonderful descriptions of snow in them. One such author that accomplishes this beautiful writing feature is Diana Mott Davidson and I look forward to her next mystery novel before it ever comes out. Since I was a very young child, I have enjoyed this genre.
Today, it is still my favorite. Now, I have found that I like the descriptions of snow that this author uses and I have written quotes from her books down to remind me.
When I locate my list of snow phrases, I will add them here so I have a permanant location to re-read them often. In the meantime, something kept me too busy from reading her latest novel called Dark Tort and I want to get that asap! All the books are about a caterer who has a son, is divorced and re-married to a cop AND she always solves a mystery connected to her catering and there is always snow in Denver. I wish I could write like her!
Found a few of them!
"Trees high and low were hung with glittering ribbons of snow."
"Sunbeams slanting through the pines and aspen branches winked off errant flakes."
"Out here in the boondocks, the snow is seductively pretty."
"Through the thickening swirl of snowflakes . . . "
"As if on cue, the snow began to flutter down again . . . "
There are more -- I just have to re-locate them. . . hmmmm. maybe a new re-read of each title would be in order!
My name is Paulie and I have several blogs. I started with "PostcardsfromPaulie" which is my main blog. I have gradually added others. "Turtle Place" is for a new project downtown that celebrates our heritage and one day will be a gathering place like it was many years ago.Vancouver's history. I intend to keep a photo graphic journal of a special house at From My View - the Kiggins House.
Living in Vancouver, WA, we have many historical homes and sites and our community is aware of the importance of our heritage. This home was built by the first Mayor of Vancouver and is on the National Historical Register. This year, it was moved from its original site and is being restored to be used as the personal home of the Bruce and Judy Woods family.
